FROM GROWING YOUR MEMBERSHIP TO BUILDING WEBSITES TO PLANNING MEETINGS

We are proud of the work that we do for our clients and we want them to be proud as well. Our work for our clients has earned state and national awards. Ultimately, the value of the work shows in the bottom line of membership numbers, engaged board members, well-attended and evaluated meetings, passed legislation, successful public relations campaigns, increased revenue and more.

Ewald Consulting can assist you in monitoring progress toward attaining the goals outlined in your strategic plan. An Account Executive will help define the steps needed to pursue these goals and integrate these into the association’s operations plan through our project management software. Ewald Consulting has a number of resources that Executive Directors use during board and committee meetings to help support good governance. These include consent agendas, tip sheets, and exercises that help volunteer-led meetings run more effectively. To help individual volunteers advance their leadership skills, Ewald Consulting offers online and in-person training as well as publications and references to partner resources that help volunteers feel empowered.

Through our Organizational Leadership team, we can maintain and manage your operations, bylaws, training manuals, elections procedures and the logistics of any necessary bylaws updates over time.

Ewald Consulting has assisted clients to establish and market their unique value proposition through online, social, and traditional media sources. Our team of communication professionals has the design skills and technical abilities to meet your needs to produce compelling communication through publications, both print and online. Ewald Consulting has established a series of best practice timelines for producing, editing, and publishing print and online media. Our communications team will partner with you to establish an integrated communication strategy that will offer opportunities for members, advertisers, and other stakeholders in the industry to engage with your organization year-round.

Our finance and accounting team is comprised of bookkeepers, finance specialists and CPAs who will give you confidence that your financial matters are being handled securely, accurately and transparently.

All client funds are accounted for and managed according to rigorous standards set by the AMC Institute.

Ewald Consulting uses QuickBooks Pro™ for accounting and integrates this system with a desktop deposit system. Desktop deposit allows for nearly instantaneous, error-free deposits of funds. Due to the depth of our relationship with our banking institution, Ewald Consulting clients receive a higher level of banking services, lower fees and lower overall costs, as well as preferred rate reserve fund investment opportunities.

Whether your organization wants to influence public policy or get media attention for a newsworthy project or event, Ewald Consulting’s team of Government and Media Relations professionals can help shape the message so that it is heard by the right audience. From coalition building to grassroots management, from writing legislation to direct lobbying, from press releases to media management, Ewald Consulting has the relationships, the experience and the knowledge to provide public policy and media solutions for your organization.

At Ewald Consulting, we say, "We don’t produce events – we produce experiences.” A perfectly executed meeting fails if it lacks excitement, enthusiastic participation, industry-leading content, and opportunities to connect that are beyond comparison with other associations. Attendees need to leave the event energized. They need to go back to their offices and tell colleagues that these are the best events they’ve ever attended and they can’t wait to go to another event in the future. Ewald Consulting’s team of Events Specialists brings a breadth of experience and knowledge on how to make these meeting experiences happen and they look forward to doing so with you.

Ewald Consulting executes a dues collection and membership renewal process that leverages evidence-based practices to increase member retention. This includes renewal, retention, and recruitment tools that have gotten strong results for our clients across a variety of industries. The Member Services Department coordinates administrative support for member inquiries, correspondence, membership renewals and new member activities. The Member Services Department is well versed in web-based technology that allows for unlimited records, fields and ways to “slice” list data for targeted membership marketing campaigns.

Ewald Consulting has subscriptions to third-party data sources to support the research function of the Member Services Department. Member Services updates your online presence related to member recruitment campaigns, demographic data collection, advocacy/regulatory developments, etc.
